[view·edit·purge]Magic or sorcery is an attempt to understand, experience and influence the world using rituals, symbols, actions, gestures and language that are believed to exploit supernatural forces.

The term "martyr" (from Greek μάρτυς, mártys, "witness") refers to a person killed (usually executed or murdered) in the act of upholding his or her faith, beliefs, or personal convictions, and whose killing may be viewed as a sacrifice in favor of his or her cause. The Christian New Testament Book of Acts uses the stoning of a man named Stephen as an example of martyrdom.
